  • I hope not to use DDS or any other Triggers.
  • I know Orb of Slow only works with Unit/Point Target Abilities
My question is:
- Are ward summoning abilities (vision, trap, healing, serpent) Unit/Point Target Abilities? (I found it does not work with teh Orb of Slow ability)

If your ability targets a Point then it's a Point ability. If it has no target then it's an Immediate ability or sometimes known as Instant (although I like to reserve this name for abilities that ignore Cast Point/Backswing and don't interrupt other orders such as Berserk). If it targets a Unit then it's a Unit ability. Then some abilities are both Unit/Point.

I imagine Orb of Slow and other orb abilities like it will proc everything besides Point abilities. I doubt there's a solution to this outside of triggers.

I attached a map with a couple of triggers that allow you to create your own custom orb effects. It does use Damage detection although it's not a DDS. Also, you'll need to be on the latest version of Wc3 to open it.
